Phone Cards versus Voice Over IP

Telecommunications
Posted by: Samiuela LV Taufa on August 25, 2006 1:06:56 AM

Voice over IP, the old new technology to provide better services (in part cheaper) on voice/phone calls.

Unfortunately, after spending a little time researching on and off, over the past two years, it seems that it is conclusively obvious. Getting a phone card is going to save you a whole lot more money calling Tonga, than getting VoIP working.

I'm not bothering much with other destinations, I am only interested in getting cheaper calls in and out of Tonga. At this moment, I can get "Click Africa" phone cards that gives me something like AUD$ 0.25 a minute to Tonga, whereas on the four VoIP services I've checked so far, they are charing approximately AUD$ 0.46 a minute.

The local calls (within Australia) are real cheap, although looking at our phone bill over the past two months of residency, we don't make that many local phone calls anyway.

The dilemma of what to do with renewing or dumping a this Optus Home Phone plan.
